High intake of fermented milk products, like yogurt, in combination with a high intake of fruits and vegetables, is associated with lower hip fracture rates in women, according to a study published online Nov. 27 in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research.

For patients undergoing surgery for hip fracture or total hip arthroplasty (THA), overlapping surgery is associated with increased risk of surgical complications, according to a study published online Dec. 4 in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Community screening for osteoporosis could prevent more than a quarter of hip fractures in older women.

Osteoarthritis patients who received a steroid injection in the hip had a significantly greater incidence of bone death and collapse compared with control groups, according to new research.

When we are treating low-grade OA, we tell our patients the optimal management requires both nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic modalities.

Results from this study demonstrated patients who had previous non-ACL arthroscopic procedures and those without prior surgery had similar clinical outcomes, survivorship and complications at long-term follow-up after total knee arthroplasty.

Knee stiffness is a problem that joint replacement surgeons must address in patients prior to and after primary total knee replacement

In an Arthritis Care & Research study of individuals who underwent total knee replacement, those who did not attend college had worse pain and function after two years if they lived in poor communities, but educational level was not linked with pain or function in wealthy communities.

Knee pain and injuries are widespread, particularly in very active people and athletes. A hyperextended knee is a type of injury to the knee caused by the knee bending too far backward. This painful injury is often easy for a doctor to spot and treat.

Some complications are more common when total knee replacement surgery is done as an outpatient or same-day procedure, reports a study in the December 6, 2017 issue of The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery
